Paige VanZant laments the low pay for women in UFC
Amanda Ribas defeated Amanda in the last bout of the American contract. The American finished with an 8-5 UFC record and signed with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
Then, she lost her first two bous for company. She is due to return in the ring against Charisa Sigala this August.
VanZant also invented a money spinner to increase her bank balance.
She created an OnlyFans account, which she uses to send exclusive photos to her paying fans.
VanZant has 3.2 million followers on Instagram and previously claimed that she makes more from social media.
During a candid interview with Ariel Helwani, she stated that "I make more money posting pictures on Instagram than fighting."
"When I was doing my contract negotiation last time, the talk was: 'I can’t pay you more that a female champion.
"Okay, but you're comparing me to only women. We all should get paid more.

"I would like a substantial pay increase, and I am completely open.
"I have just been extraordinarily accomplished both outside and inside the UFC.
"Five wins, four finishes in the UFC, I've been main-event twice, and I believe someone with these accolades should get more."
